BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — Louisiana-Monroe scored 28 straight points in the fourth quarter and went on to beat Western Kentucky 35-30 Saturday night.

The loss was the 26th straight for the Hilltoppers (0-6, 0-2 Sun Belt Conference), who have the nation’s longest losing streak.

Western Kentucky led 24-7 in the fourth quarter, but could not close out the Warhawks (3-3, 2-1). An interception return for a touchdown by Robert Nelson with 2 minutes left sealed the victory for Louisiana-Monroe.

Kawaun Jakes threw a touchdown pass to Willie McNeal with 55 seconds remaining, but the Hilltoppers could not recover an onside kick after the score.

Western Kentucky’s Bobby Rainey rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 32 rushes.
